Well if you got hernia pain from a 11 pound ball. I'd go to the doctor and get checked for a hernia and have it fixed or at least get a hernia belt, before worrying about what bowling ball to use.

Let's see:
Asperger's
weak arms
poor coordination
poor motor skill's

and you want a PBA card and be a coach.

Sounds like chess may be a better game to start looking into playing. You're falling apart

I would say stick with the 10 pound ball (I think that's your normal ball weight?), enjoy the game the way that you like to. Try to be the best that YOU can be at it, and don't worry about being better than other people.

Yeah stick with a ball you can throw accurately and correctly. No sense stepping up weight if you cant handle it. I personally throw a 14 pound ball. I tried a 15 or 16 but just couldnt get them to roll like I wanted.

does ball drilling reduce much overall weight?

A few ounces

This post reminds me of an old joke my dad told me when I was a kid...

Did you hear about the 100 lb midget with 50 lb balls? He says he's half nuts!

As bad as that is, do have a friend who is a little person, and he actually spit his beer out while listening to it.

While ball weight does help with carry up to a certain point it's not worth your health. Less than average strength, motor skills and coordination are common with Asperger's. None of that means you can't still enjoy the sport. It will take you longer to get where you expect but given the disease you've had your whole life it's just another obstacle. See your doctor about the hernia first. As simple as a hernia sounds you don't want it to get worse because it can cause some real life threatening problems.
